NOMINALIZATION IN THE ESSAYS WRITTEN BY STUDENTS OF ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM IN SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
Nominalization is the use of verbs or adjectives as nouns, and it plays an important role in writing as one of the four skills of mastering the English Language. By using nominalization, students can increase conciseness, improve objectivity, and promote the coherence of the writing which later will help them to produce sophisticated writing. Therefore, this current study focuses on nominalization as the researcher tries to seek out the dominant type of nominalization used by the students of the English Education Study Program in Sriwijaya University as well as their perceptions about nominalization. Documentation was used to collect students’ essays and analysis using the AntConc software (3.5.9) showed that out of five types of nominalization, process nominalization which is realized as the transference from verbs to nouns appeared to be used dominantly by the students. Moreover, the conducted interview revealed that students only had less knowledge regarding nominalization like the definition of it as also linked to the fact that lecturers hardly mentioned nominalization in the class while teaching about forming words. It is hoped that this research will aid in improving educational practice by incorporating nominalization into the teaching and learning process, particularly in writing academically.
